Background

About Stephan Oetiker

I believe in the power of entrepreneurship 5.0 to resolve societal challenges and to bring people to their calling. I like to work with passionate, curious, committed and self-reliant people who, together with me, transform entrepreneurial visions into successful business models and create added value for the benefit of a greater goal. My passion lies in the development of extraordinary places and organisations. Extraordinary places create identity and touch people emotionally. From identity and emotionality comes belonging. Participation arises from belonging. And participation is living. Extraordinary places create social, ecological and economic sustainability for the people who live in them. They offer security, freedom and perspectives - over many generations. Extraordinary places find the special in the supposedly everyday and make it possible for everyone to experience it. Extraordinary places strengthen the people who live there in their goal of leading a healthy and independent life and developing privately and professionally. Extraordinary places are real homes. Extraordinary organisations have a positive image of humanity and a culture based on trust and openness, clear and non-negotiable common values, the ability to build intelligent networks and the self-image that a shared vision is the most important compass. Extraordinary organisations are supported by people who can see and anticipate changes in the value systems of markets and people ahead of time and have the courage to react before others do. Extraordinary organisations are supported by people who value freedom more than security, or who find their security in the fact that they are prepared to work together with capable people who share their values in order to achieve a common goal. In extraordinary organisations, information is freely available and not a means of power. In extraordinary organizations, decisions are not made by power structures but by knowledge structures. The shadow organization is activated. The principle of hierarchy is replaced by the principle of authority. Extraordinary organisations are real homes.
